Grammy-nominated Justin Roberts is truly one of the all-stars of the indie family music scene.

He logs thousands of miles on the road each year, leading some to call him the hardest working man in children's show business. With numerous national awards and recognition and a devoted fan base, Justin and The Not Ready for Naptime Players dish out unexpectedly intelligent and whimsically rocking music for kids and their parents.

On Thursday, Nov. 5, Justin brings his energetic show to The Clarion at Brazosport College for two performances at 9:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m.

Justin’s shows are always unique and provide plenty of fun for children. With bass and drums pounding out the beat in perfect unison, kids tend to jump, dance and bounce off each other like bumper cars, participating in a kiddie mosh pit, which can be found at nearly every one of Justin’s concerts.

“USA Today” has proclaimed Justin as “hands down the best songwriter in the genre,” while the “New York Times” has called Justin the “Judy Blume of kiddie rock,” with a “remarkable ability to see through a child’s eyes.”

Justin has performed in front of millions of people on “The Today Show,” and was featured on Nick Jr. TV. His song "Get Me Some Glasses" was featured on a World Series broadcast. He's also garnered kudos and raves from national media including the “New York Times,” “Los Angeles Times,” “Newsweek,” “People,” “Entertainment Weekly” and the “Chicago Tribune.”

Tickets for Justin Roberts and the Not Ready for Naptime Players on Nov. 5 at the Clarion are $20 for adults and $10 for students and children. Seniors, BC employees and members of the BC Former Students Association can purchase tickets for $15.

The show is being sponsored by Texas State Representative Dennis and Kim Bonnen.
